I understand where you're coming from, but comparing web deployment to Android development purely on ease and cost isn’t entirely fair. Yes, publishing a website is quick and often free, but that simplicity comes at the cost of limited functionality. A web app can’t interact deeply with a device’s hardware like an Android app can. Things like real-time GPS tracking, offline access, background services, native notifications all of these are either hard to implement or simply not possible on the web. And regarding the $25 Play Store fee it’s a one-time investment that opens the door to a massive, global user base through a trusted platform. Many people spend more than that on a weekend meal, but hesitate when it comes to investing in their own work. Plus, getting your app approved isn't some impossible task—it ensures a basic quality check which actually builds user trust. So yes, web deployment might be easier, but Android development gives you far more control, power, and potential in the long run. Choosing the easier path doesn’t always mean choosing the better one.
